Bahrain: You can imprison the activists, but not their ideas

By: Josh Shahryar, Enduring America, September 4, 2012 The Bahraini appeals court has spoken: the 13 men who chose to remain in Bahrain will stay behind bars, seven of them facing life sentences. In the short run, today's verdicts will sadden many inside and outside Bahrain who hoped that the suffering of these activists would come to an end. But in the long run, Bahrain's rulers are left with a country brimming with discontent, slowly gathering behind ideas that will alter the course of their nation.
